    Apple should have added AMD models, not used souped-up phone chips in computers. 
    That would have worked well for the Mac Pro.  And maybe for the iMac (particularly if they wanted to make another iMac Pro).  But it wouldn't have worked for anything else.

    Just the ability to do nano texture on a touchscreen is very interesting.  I'm drooling a bit, but not upgrading anytime soon.

  • A future iPhone may get a 200MP camera -- eventually

    It certainly seems inevitable that this will arrive at some point.  And I hadn't been paying enough attention to Samsung to realize they have shipped one.  But it seems weird to ship it now, when not even an $8k Hasselblad medium-format camera will get you over 100MP (and only one full-frame model will get you over 50MP.  Most are 24-48MP).  I feel like the only reason you get something even usable with that kind of resolution on that small a sensor with such small lenses is a combination of AI post-processing and pixel binning.  And if you're just going to be binning the pixels, you'll do better to have fewer pixels because there will be fewer interstitial lines on the sensor leading to more usable surface space.
